BAFTA/LA to honor De Niro

Actor to receive Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts/Los Angeles will honor Robert De Niro with its Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award.

The kudo will be presented at the BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards on Nov. 5 at the Century Plaza Hotel.

“Robert De Niro is truly a film icon, and his formidable ability to disappear into each and every character he plays makes him one of the most acclaimed actors in the world,” said BAFTA/LA chairman Peter Morris.

De Niro will next star in Miramax Films’ “Everything’s Fine,” which opens Dec. 4.
